HC Deb 02 June 1921 vol 142 cc1230-1
42. Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Prime Minister whether any offers of assistance have been made by the British or any of the Allied Governments to the Greek Government by way of furnishing munitions and technical advisers to the Greek forces in North-Western Anatolia for the protection of Constantinople against a possible advance by Angora Turks on the capital; whether there is a British military attaché with the Greek army in Asia Minor; whether Colonel Repington is now with the latter; and if he has any official mission?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer to the first part of the question, so far as His Majesty's Government are aware, is in the negative. The British military attaché at Athens has been invited to visit the Greek front, and may by now have proceeded there. I have no information in regard to Colonel Repington's movements. He has no official mission.
